# Ingredients:
→ Chicken
01 -
8 chicken thighs with the bone in
→ Lemony Greek Marinade
02 -
1/3 cup of good olive oil
03 -
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
04 -
4 cloves of garlic, chopped up fine
05 -
1 tablespoon of oregano (dried)
06 -
2 teaspoons of dried thyme
07 -
2 teaspoons of mustard (Dijon works great)
08 -
2 teaspoons of kosher salt
09 -
1 teaspoon of black pepper, freshly ground
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, mustard, salt, and pepper in a tiny bowl. Stir until everything’s mixed evenly.
02 -
Put the chicken thighs in a big bowl. Pour the marinade all over them, making sure they’re coated well. Stick it in the fridge and let it marinate for 1-2 hours or leave it up to 8 hours if you’ve got extra time.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange the chicken thighs in a casserole or baking dish, pouring the leftover marinade on top of the chicken.
04 -
Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, or until it hits 175°F (80°C) in the center. If you want crispy skin, broil it for the last 2 minutes. Baste every now and then using the juices in the pan for extra flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
These Greek-flavored thighs are moist, tender, and soaked in a zesty mix of lemon, garlic, and herbs.
